I was thinking to use an action to issue a command like
Code:xdotool search --name "OpenCPN 4.6.1" key ctrl+space
which runs without error but doesn't do anything either; anybody any ideas on this ?
P.S. I haven't tried running this as an action yet. I've only been experimenting in a terminal
xdotool search "OpenCPN 4.6.1" windowactivate --sync key --clearmodifiers l
That works to turn on and off the light in opencpn so you must be close, can't get it working with cntrl space though. Good find!
Thanks.. I'll go and ask in the OCPN forum
